Dracula!

By Heather | Published: September 20, 2011

Always wished you could get the jokes at parties but never had time to read those pesky classic books everyone sub-references? Well, here’s your chance to do it the easy way:
Stick a book in your ear!
(Scroll down for current shownotes)
We’ve just started Dracula and have a library of many other books in our archives. Subscribe free at iTunes, Learn out Loud, via Stitcher Radio, your fave podcast aggregator, or use the iPhone/Droid app.
The podcast itself will always be free. Guaranteed.

Don’t think you’ll like the crafty-talk? Check the bottom of the shownotes—a time code is given for each episode letting you know when the crafty chat ends and the book talk begins. A player is provided each time for your convenience. And now we have a parallel show—Just the Books: All the Lit, None of the Craft.

Welcome!

Gorgeous author’s estates from Tara in TN, the 2012 Calendar of Hope from FitterKnitter

This is our 4th year of publication and as a survivor myself, it’s my way of giving back with the help of some very talented knitters.
 Almost 100% of the proceeds go to the armyofwomen.com> which is trying to find out WHY we get breast cancer.
 You can read more about the calendar on my website www.fitterknitter.com    From Lisa the Extinct Dracula Monkey!!!
